Black Death - Injector Seal Leak

A common and serious issue where fuel injector seals fail, allowing combustion gases to escape. Called "Black Death" due to the black carbon deposits that form around the injectors.

• Black carbon buildup around injectors
• Rough idle
• Misfires
• Ticking or knocking sound
• Diesel smell
• Hard starting

Replace failed injector seal(s) and clean all carbon deposits. In severe cases, injector(s) may need replacement. Professional cleaning of the injector bore is recommended.

Use quality fuel, maintain regular service intervals, address any rough running immediately.
